And saw this on Ebay

Rosewill - No.
Refurb - No.
Ebay - No.

The power supply is the most important component of your computer. This is the LAST thing you want to go cheap on. Get a unit from a reputable manufacturer (Antec, FSP, Seasonic, PC Power and Cooling, Super Flower) and from a reputable store (Newegg, Amazon - No Third Parties).

Went with a new corsair PSU off Amazon

Actually Not all Rosewill PSUs are bad.
I have a Rosewill Photon 750 and it is a pretty decent PSU.
I got it on sale for $50 New, so it was a great deal and it reviewed decently:
The GOOD:
excellent ripple suppression, all rails
fully modular
no hardwired Berg connectors
no expenses spared on capacitors or semiconductors
optimal balance of ribbon and sleeved cables for functionality

And the BAD and Mediocre he listed seems to have been improved in my newer (2019) model.

The BAD:
broken PCB (I didn't open my PSU but I'd guess that was an isolated incident)
The MEDIOCRE:
so-so soldering (I didn't check but I haven't had any issues with this PSU)
strictly average voltage stability (my voltages seem to be very stable according to HWinfo)
